Tyrone's Mattie Donnelly speaking to GAAGO:

"We did what we came to do and get a bit of momentum, back-to-back wins which we've struggled to do for a while.

"It was sticky enough but I thought we learned well. There were black cards, red cards, it was a chaotic game at times but we were able to see the game out.

"We weren't finishing our attacks. It was a warm day and our energy wasn't where it needed to be but we learned and the boys were a lot more clinical in the second half."
